Fall Creek Academy Partners with the IAC

This year, students from Fall Creek Academy (FCA) are privileged to receive art education from instructors at the Indianapolis Art Center, located in Broadripple.  The Indianapolis Art Center is one of the largest community art facilities in the United States not connected with a university.

The IAC philosophy is grounded in the belief that art is more than just a picture on the wall-it is a vital component of a diverse, thriving community and an agent for social change.  Through classes, exhibitions, outreach programs and inter-arts events, the Art Center welcomes more than 285,000 annual visitors and hopes to provide them with the confidence to become life-long learners in the world of art.

Fall Creek Academy students have access to the entire Art Center campus which consists of:

• The $8.5 million Marilyn K. Glick School of Art, a 40,000 square-foot facility designed by world-renowned architect Michael Graves
• ARTSPARK, a 12-acre outdoor creativity and sculpture park designed to incorporate art and nature
• 13 state-of-the-art studios
• Three major fine art galleries and five exhibition halls
• A 224-seat auditorium
• The Frank M. Basile Studio
• A library complete with a two-story
  

This semester, FCA students are enjoying print making and glass art.
 
“This partnership is a wonderful thing for our school,” stated Dr. Anita Silverman, principal at Fall Creek Academy.  “We are able to provide the highest quality art education at a beautiful facility to our students -- who are so enthusiastic about coming to these classes.  They really are getting the chance to do some amazing projects.”
